JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – October 17, 2025) – Today, viral hitmaker MOLIY returns with her electrifying new single \u201cBody Go\u201d featuring Grammy-winning superstar TYLA, available now on all streaming platforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The collaboration between two of Africa\u2019s brightest stars delivers an effortless fusion of R&B, Pop, Amapiano, and Afrobeats, creating a global dance anthem that celebrates rhythm, confidence, and movement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cBody Go\u201d follows the massive success of MOLIY\u2019s record-breaking global smash \u201cShake It To The Max \u2013 FLY [Remix]\u201d, which surpassed 1 billion streams and was named one of the Songs of the Summer 2025 by both Spotify and TikTok.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fans of each other\u2019s artistry, Ghanaian-American MOLIY and South African TYLA came together with a shared vision – to celebrate feminine power, unity, and joy. Their chemistry radiates through every beat, creating an empowering anthem for the ultimate girls\u2019 night out, while continuing to push African sounds further into the global mainstream.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The collaboration came together organically. After MOLIY recorded the song, she immediately felt it needed \u201canother baddie\u201d – and sent it to Tyla, who instantly connected with it and recorded her verse before they even met in person. Their first meeting in New York City sealed their bond.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

MOLIY says: \u201cWhen I was done recording the song, I just knew it needed another baddie, so I sent Tyla the record hoping she\u2019d feel it. When she sent back her verse, it was perfect. The first time we met, it didn\u2019t even feel like the first time. We laughed the whole time, and she even surprised me with flowers for my birthday. She\u2019s such a girl\u2019s girl! That\u2019s when I knew this song captured the right energy needed for a girls\u2019 night out, and I\u2019m so excited to release it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

TYLA adds: \u201cI remember hearing \u2018Body Go\u2019 for the first time and thinking, \u2018Yeah, I need to be on this.\u2019 Meeting MOLIY in New York felt like meeting an old friend. This one is special because it\u2019s so playful and light. It feels like you\u2019re outside with your girls, not thinking too hard, just living, just moving. MOLIY and I clicked right away on this track.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Produced by French producer FRNCH and Grammy-winning producer DEE\/MA, \u201cBody Go\u201d blends pulsating amapiano basslines with smooth Afrobeats melodies and irresistible hooks, embodying the freedom, joy, and movement of a night out across Africa\u2019s vibrant cities \u2014 from Accra to Johannesburg, Lagos to Nairobi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
